16v72 powered IH 4070A

[TruckerAL]

Just wrapped this one up today. Parts box special build here. The list of things done to it is as follows, in no particular order: custom made 16v72 Detroit using 2 kit engines and parts bashed together, intake piping is from the parts bin. Rear rims and tires from the double header pup trailer kits, frame cross members from the AMT Mack R model, White Freightliner 1/4 rear fenders and modified sun visor, 3d printed drive hubs, and a whole bunch of other little odds and ends to list off. This build was great, and the engine swap was even better. Enjoy!

Really great looking Transtar.  Surprised the 16V72 fit under there.  Very well done.

Great looking truck especially with that big power. I especially like the visor. Gives it an attitude.,!

[TruckerAL]

Thanks guys! I'm surprised that engine fit in there as well. No shaving, sanding, or trimming of the frame, interior tub, or anything. Engine fit right in there with 0 issues!

Then I must find a truck to put mine in. And your model is stunning my friend.

Wow! These Transtar builds are getting better and better. Almost no limit to the variations possible. Really like the old school chromed steelies on rear with Rockwell hubs and lively paint scheme!

Another great build Alex. The transtar is my favorite cabover. We used to see these all the time back then. Great color choice. I am so glad round 2 issued this kit. I built 2 of these, the original ERTL and the new 4070a

[SpikeSchumacher]

Wow! Nicely done Alex ?

Now thats an engine swap ! !!!  Gorgeous paint work on your 4070

Well, that’s some impressive power under there, just try to keep it on the road with the shiny side up, and the greasy side down.

Great build!
